Maybe theres something more going on. Everytime i shut my pc down in the last few days its installing new updates on windows... thats unusual
The server was upgraded. We still have a problem with the number of private messages which is affecting the database performance, so performance may be "lumpy" for a few days until that is separately resolved.
Is anyone still noticing some issues? I'm getting occasional failures to the load pages but I don't know if it is the site or my crappy internet connection.
